Share
Rod Carew was a hitting machine for 19 seasons with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels.

And when it was all said and done, the Angels and Twins both retired Carew’s No. 29 jersey.

During the 1960s, Carew served a six-year commitment in the US Marine Corps Reserves as a combat engineer.
